Yeah.

Out in the middle of field just like whipping circles around just drunk as hell.

It's not that whirling disease. No, they think it's just drunk as hell. It's not that whirling disease.

No, they think it's just drunk.

Yeah. What kind of fermented fruit are they eating?

French fruit.

Probably make toilet wine, you know, in the deer toilets, you know.

The video shows a deer running rapidly in circles, rolling on the ground at one point

continuously rotating his head.

He's hammered, man.

Yeah.

Yeah, it doesn't say what kind of fruit.

They just say eaten fermented fruits and was S-faced out in the field.

Yeah. The old guy that owned my parents' house before they bought it, made like wine out of everything. Like he made apple wine.
